Flash Comics #1, 1940

Wings 25

Beautiful book but severe spine roll and tape/tape stain on back cover.

First I had to remove the cover and remove the tape which was on back cover and inside back cover. Tape staining was very stubborn but it was minimized. Tear was sealed using Japanese heat set tissue. Each page was individually pressed and since the pages were a slight bit tan, each page was de-acidified to neutralize and buffer paper. Spine roll removed. Cover re-assembled using original staples and book pressed intact.

Iron Man 55

This was favorite book of a customer and he wanted it to look new again. The top corner of the front cover had been torn and someone put scotch tape over it on inside cover. Since I was going to do a full restoration I repaired all other tears and did some extra color touch along creases.
